Sadiq Khan is waging war on statues.
As Mayor, I'll wage war on criminals.
London needs a fresh start.

- No 1 monarch!! Her Majesty rocked her Platinum Jubilee today... God save the Queen!
- I've been stopped and searched, Dawn. Yes, police make mistakes. But they're not racist. Instead of political attacks, let's improve relations between police and the communities they serve. As Mayor, I'll back our police. I'll never defund them like @SadiqKhan. @Channel4News"The Met Police is systematically racist and it needs to change." Labour MP Dawn Butler says "there's something wrong with the system" - after she was stopped by police in London today.
00:00 - Volunteers cleaning vandalised memorial on Whitehall berated by a small group of protesters. Thankfully in London abusive clashes have been low - this sort of thing seems to be the exception rather than the rule. x.com/VILE_news/stat…
- Churchill was a hero. He led this country when we stood alone in the fight against fascism. My granddad volunteered from Jamaica to join his war effort. Without him, we’d be without the freedoms that these protesters are exercising today. @SadiqKhan, when will you speak up?
- This is appalling. Police officers attacked in Hackney today. This is what happens @SadiqKhan when you try to appease the mob. You lose control of the streets. x.com/Gabriel_Shoe/s…
- Our police have expertly shut down the protests in Trafalgar Square, allowing them to get back to protecting our city from violent crime. Sadiq Khan's response? Question the police as to why this was necessary. So my question to Sadiq is: Why can't you just back the police?
00:00 - People are dying on London’s streets each and every day and what is the Mayor’s response? To laugh and call me names. My job, Mr. Mayor, is to hold *you* to account, because *you* are the one not doing your job.
00:00 - Today it's been revealed that Sadiq Khan made false and dishonest statements to the London Assembly to cover up his manipulation of the ULEZ results. This is unacceptable behaviour that must be looked into. #TheULEZScandal
- Now that the results are in, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on this election. While we didn’t quite get over the line, I’m incredibly proud of my team. Despite a global pandemic, they ran an amazing campaign and together we shattered expectations.
- Extinction Rebellion, your point has been made. There is a climate emergency, but we also have a crime emergency. You can't distract the police any further while we have had 2 fatal stabbings. If Sadiq Khan is too busy hiding under his desk to tell you that, then I will.
00:00 - I’ve been chased by the National Front. I’ve been called the n word. So I know what racism is. And I know the police aren’t racist. To make a difference, we should improve relations between police and underrepresented communities. Not attack them for political gain.
00:00 - Churchill fought the far-right his entire life, including here at home. George Floyd's own brother called for an end to destructive protest. Anybody, right or left, looking for trouble in London today - you betray the cause that both men believed in. Freedom and fairness.
- I’m a black man from Ladbroke Grove. I experienced racism from a young age. I know what it is. So stop the games. Let’s bring people together, work with police and improve community relations. If you want to help, ask @SadiqKhan to drop his plans to cut £110m from our police.Twitter I'm tired and need to get some sleep. Can someone please explain institutional racism to Shaun. I think it's important he understands what it is. Thanks Twitter friends. Night night
